Pontiac De Luxe Torpedo Six Business Coupe (1941)
“Come on, gang! Now we’ve got something to crow about!”
Yes, indeed, you have plenty to crow about when a handsome, new Pontiac “Torpedo” comes into your family. No one can blame you, either, for this big, gleaming beauty proves that you know what’s right in motor car styles.
And in comfort, too. In Pontiac’s roomy body by Fisher, you and your friends will find comfort beyond compare.
You can crow, also, about how little it costs you to drive your new Pontiac “Torpedo,” if you like. Pontiac has long been recognized as one of America’s most economical cars and, in spite of their increased size and power, 1941 models match earlier Pontiacs in gasoline and oil economy and freedom from need for repairs.
As for safety, dependability, handling ease and the other qualities you want, thousands of owners of new Pontiacs consider their cars the equals in all respects of other cars costing hundreds of dollars more.
Yet Pontiac prices are so close to the lowest that if you can afford any new car you can afford a new: Pontiac “Torpedo.”

Finest of the famous “Silver streaks” (1945)
This is the new Pontiac — a car that adds new luster to a fine old name.
It carries to an even higher level the tradition of quality that began when the first Pontiac “Silver Streak’ was introduced a decade ago.
If you are a Pontiac owner you know what that statement means — because four years of wartime driving have proved that Pontiac quality pays great dividends in owner satisfaction.
And if you have never owned a Pontiac, we believe you will be greatly impressed by this fine new car. In appearance, in all-around performance, in comfort — in everything that stands for quality — it is the finest of the famous “Silver Streaks.”
New Pontiac — A fine old name soars to greater fame (1946)
With every advance in design and in engineering, one Pontiac quality has remained unchanged — its reputation for dependable performance and extra value.
The new 1946 Pontiac strengthens that fine reputation. To a background of fine performance, proved and reproved during war years, Pontiac engineers have added important improvements — as many, in fact, as in any prewar year.
This continuous endeavor to improve the basic goodness of every new Pontiac began years ago when its famous Silver Streak styling introduced a new concept of value in the low-price ficid.
The 1946 Pontiac, still in the low-price field, brings dependability, performance and value to a new high level. A fine old name now soars to even greater fame!
